Flowers
Need to find original I sent and to who. Recreated for me.
I like this one, but tricky to do -- need a good name with a few ascenders.
brush markers and 3d paint for dots.
PP Uncial
I used to love Mike Kesceg's pointed pen uncial alpha. I still like it, but don't letter it as much as i use to.
Here is a sample env. with it.

Mondrian-ish
I love Mondrian. The primary colors, the cubism/geometric elements...all of it. SO, I tried creating some letters in that manner as well as the env. design itself.
I also created one for myself.
Probably easier to do on the computer vs. hand-lettering.
Drawn Caps to Kate
I love how this one turned out. I tried making it look "flighty" to coordinate with the stamp. I used at brush marker and filled in with color pencil. Enviro font for the address. I should try to re-create.

Thornton brights! (old exchanges)
I used to really be into Peter Thornton's button alphabet, and created a few env.'s with the same theme:
hand-drawn on grey with neon colors. Enviro caps & lc alpha for a border.
One to myself (Didn't send, just created).
I totally forgot about this one until one day, I saw it pop up on Pinterest. In 2003, I found her website at:
https://www.cecilia-letteringart.com/mailartgallery/mailartgallery.html and created an env. to send to her.
https://www.cecilia-letteringart.com/mailartgallery/mailartgallery.html and created an env. to send to her.
And a few more just for fun:
This one was more vibrant in-person, plus this is a scan.

Do not like the red outline.
